Ephemeroptera The name Ephemeroptera is derived from the Greek "ephemera" meaning short-lived, and "ptera" meaning wings.

Odonata Odonata. Dragonflies and Damselflies. The name Odonata, derived from the Greek "odonto-", meaning tooth, refers to the strong teeth found on the mandibles.

Blattaria Cockroaches are insects of the order Blattodea, sometimes also called Blattaria, of which about 30 species out of 4,600 total are associated with human habitats. About four species are well known as pests.

Isoptera Isoptera. Termites are usually small or medium sized, whitish or colorless insects, with short antennae. They have strong biting mouthparts with which to chew seeds, wood or leaves. Apart from the Hymenoptera (bees, ants and wasps), termites are the only insects that live in social groups.

Dermatptera Dermaptera, widely distributed in warm, moist areas, characterized by a slender, elongated, flattened body with pincer like appendages at the tail end of the abdomen.

Phasmida Orthoptera is an order of insects with paurometabolous or incomplete metamorphosis, including the grasshoppers, crickets, cave crickets, Jerusalem crickets, katydids, weta, lubber, Acrida, and locusts.

Hemiptera Hemiptera is an order of insects most often known as the true bugs, comprising around 50,000–80,000 species of cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, shield bugs, and others.

Coleoptera The Coleoptera order of insects is commonly called beetles. The word "coleoptera" is from the Greek κολεός, koleos, meaning "sheath"; and πτερόν, pteron, meaning "wing", thus "sheathed wing", because most beetles have two pairs of wings.
